162: 9 Point Checklist for Wedding Vendor Reviews - Who Is Faking It Online?
Épisode 162
lundi 17 novembre 2025 • Durée 12:27
Just the other day, I was chatting with three seasoned wedding vendors about how, lately, they’ve been hearing from engaged couples asking tons of questions about details that, honestly, aren’t likely to be problems at all. They were frustrated by how they’ve been micromanaged or not fully trusted. So I asked them: “How can an engaged couple really tell who’s a legit, experienced vendor who won’t let them down?”
They all agreed that it’s tough for couples to know, especially when so much of that trust comes from online reviews and testimonials that can feel overwhelming or sometimes leave you wondering what to really believe. That’s exactly what we’re diving into today: how to cut through the noise to understand what’s genuine in online reviews, and where to focus your attention while you research potential wedding vendors so you can book them with confidence.
And stay tuned till the end, I’ll be sharing my 9 Point Checklist for Wedding Vendor Reviews and help you to work out who might be faking it online.

161: Wedding After-Parties: Just Another Expense Or A Brilliant Idea?
Épisode 161
lundi 10 novembre 2025 • Durée 22:57
Have you ever wondered what happens when a wedding feels too good to end, but you’re not quite ready for the party to be over? Maybe you’ve noticed how after-parties are suddenly cropping up in everyone’s wedding plans, or you’re curious why couples are making space in their budget for this bonus round of celebrating.
On today’s episode, we’ll dig into the real reasons after-parties are getting so much love lately, plus some surprisingly creative ways to throw one: whether you want a rooftop cocktail hour, a backyard bonfire, or just a cosy lounge for late-night snacks and stories. If you’re looking for inspiration well beyond the usual dance floor, you’re in the right place.
And if you listen all the way through, there’s a little something extra: a behind-the-scenes idea for making even the simplest after-party truly unforgettable, no matter your budget or style, that might just become your new favourite wedding memory.

Épisode 152
lundi 8 septembre 2025 • Durée 37:41
Welcome back to Part 2 of my interview with Peter and Chelsea from Him and Her Music, where we continue our deep dive into how you can collaborate and work with your wedding musicians to get the very best experience in the lead-up and on the day for yourself, for you, your fiancé and your future memories too.
If you joined us for Part 1, you’ve already heard how Chelsea and Pete’s expertise, transparency, and heartfelt advice make them more than just performers; they’re planners, curators and pros at creating moments that matter. And you’d also now realise how that doesn’t happen by accident. It takes a lot of experience, thought, and coordination too.
So in this episode, Part 2 of our chat, you’ll hear some of their real wedding stories that prove just how powerful live music can be, like how they transformed a brief for “old Italian vibes” into an unforgettable evening.
You’ll learn how to choose your wedding songs, everything from your aisle song to your first dance and also hear Chelsea’s personal approach to choosing her processional and how she dealt with feeling overwhelmed on their wedding day.
And stick around to the end, because Peter and Chelsea offer their best tips and very candid guidance for sourcing, booking, and working with musicians who do more than just sound good, because experienced wedding musicians can also reduce your stress levels and weave a magic atmosphere for you and your guests.

61: Micro-weddings With Massive Impact: Why Size Really Does Matter with WedShed
Épisode 61
lundi 23 octobre 2023 • Durée 33:11
While large weddings are often a blast because of the vibe that lots of people gathered together can bring and the go-go-go, smaller weddings have advantages that you might not appreciate at first glance.
Some of the most intimate, and moving experiences I've had at weddings are those with just a handful of highly invested family and friends.
Sometimes it’s the smaller micro weddings and the time and space they allow for everyone who attends, that feel a little more intentional, with guests that are present and deeply involved.
This week my guest, the incredible, Amy Parfett, co-founder of WedShed, Gravy and now author, is going to break micro weddings down for you.
You'll learn:
• how post-covid times and the cost of living crisis are affecting wedding plans, trends and timing of getting married.
• the big advantages of little micro weddings, and
• Amy's easy 3 step, how-to-get-started guide for planning a micro wedding of your very own.

Épisode 60
lundi 16 octobre 2023 • Durée 49:46
This episode comes with a language warning, Hillary is, like me, a fan of swearing and spreading it around like seasoning in her conversation. We clicked pretty much instantly.
And she’s got some brilliant ideas to share with you about the re-wearing, repurposing and repeating of your outfits, both for the wedding, before and after.
The Hilandel owner and designer creates wedding attire with a focus on feminism, sustainable fashion and body neutrality so she is a perfect fit for the Unbridely podcast and I think you’re going to LOVE her no-nonsense straight talk.
Today Hillary will teach you:
The one big question you want to ask yourself before you even start thinking about designing or shopping for your wedding outfit
Some key points to consider when you’re arranging deliveries, or working out where your wedding flowers and food leftovers are going after your celebrations are over, and
Why you can maybe skip buying those bridal pumps and get something that you really want.
And stay listening to the end for Hillary’s thoughts on how the Australian wedding industry stacks up against the rest of the world.

59: Your Wedding Processional - How To Make It Your Own and LOVE It
Épisode 59
lundi 9 octobre 2023 • Durée 23:22
Most civil ceremonies in Australia start with what’s known as the processional; when certain people enter the ceremony space, typically down an aisle that is formed between the assembled guests, in a specific order to mark the beginning of a wedding ceremony.
Really, there are no limits and a question that I’m hearing more and more in my role as a marriage celebrant over the last few years in particular is: “do we have to have a processional, at all?” And the short answer is… no
But this is also when many engaged couples get stuck, what IS the alternative? How can we make it our own? And what does that even look like?
Today, I’ll teach you:
WHAT a typical processional might look like in a non-religious wedding ceremony here in Australia.
WHY you might want to change it up or skip it altogether, and what you could in that instance
WHO you can include, and who you really should avoid including (I’m looking at you children under 5 and animals)
And HOW you can do it in a way that you actually look forward to and feel comfortable with, including some ideas and tips for those nervous or awkward types.
58: Yes, The Post-Wedding Blues are Real; Here's How to Skip Them
Épisode 58
lundi 2 octobre 2023 • Durée 15:15
Imagine your wedding planning is like the unfolding and riveting story of an adventure novel and your wedding is the last chapter where everything comes together.
It’s when the drama gets resolved, the narrative comes full circle and the heroes (that’s you and your fiancé) have their time to shine.
But what if the final chapter of your story was not as satisfying as you’d hoped? Maybe the closing remarks weren’t hopeful or filled with meaning, maybe one of your favourite people didn’t get their justice, or maybe the ending was so spectacular that you’re quite simply devastated that there’s no more to come.
And just like when you’ve closed the book on an incredible read, finished binging your new fave series or just heard the final siren of the season, the time after your wedding celebrations can be a big letdown.
It's commonly known as the post-wedding blues.
And while it’s not the end of the world, it’s a bummer and with a couple of tweaks to what is most probably already in your plans, you can nix most of the unpleasantness and get on with your married life with renewed vigour and purpose!
So today I’m going to share:
The different ways that the post-wedding blues can show up in your life,
9 different reasons why you might be feeling this way, and

56: 90% of Wedding Advice Is Crap + 22 PSAs For Savvy Engaged Couples
Épisode 56
lundi 18 septembre 2023 • Durée 29:24
I would hazard a guess that there's a 90%, an extremely high chance, that you are listening to and working with advice and recommendations about your wedding with information from people who don't have a clue.
With 15 years and over 900 wedding ceremonies experience myself, a background as a wedding and events manager, extensive hospitality work, and a degree in performance jazz, I can also assure you that even I don't know everything you need to know either.
In this episode, you will learn:
why you shouldn't listen to everyone’s advice, opinions and recommendations about your wedding,
how to know if recommendations and advice are valuable for your specific needs, and then
my top 22 PSAs or public service announcements, that I really hope will be valuable for you.
